Parameter Support

Parameter Support

While investigating #144, it was discovered that the prefix_only option is not working properly. I did a lot of research and testing into this and determined that the path forward is deprecation of this input option for a few reasons:

1. It is not working as expected
2. By invoking deployments where .deploy is not the very start of the command will lead to some pretty unexpected behavior
3. Commands issued in this manner will be hard to read, debug, and can lead to difficult support

I took a look at "why" we would want to use prefix_only in the first place and the overwhelming reason was to try and pass parameters into issueops commands in a fairly "hacky" way. Rather than doing so in a "hacky" way, I determined that the best path forward would be to deprecate prefix_only: false invocations and make parameters a native feature of this Action.

New Inputs

This Pull Request introduces a new Action input and Action output:

• Input - param_separator - Designates a special character (or string) to separate the IssueOps command from an arbitrary string of parameters
• Output - params - A raw string of the detected parameters saved to the output of the branch-deploy Action workflow

Further documentation on how parameters work can be found here
